Hi, I used the outline font in my application. It all works fine on the printer and when pdf is created using ps2pdf. However, when the same file is processed with Adobe Distiller or with Preview on my Mac, I get a black page (not blank, black!). The exact example from the Blue Book behaves the same way (p. 205). Is there anything I should change in the settings of the Distiller or there is another way of getting the custom outline font? TIA Michael

And probably distiller has the same bug. I think you need to save the PostScript generated outline font into a file where preview or distiller can find it, but this is a task for a more experienced PostScript programmer, I think. Helge
